My iPhone 11 no longer allows facial recognition

If the Facial Recognition / Front Camera issue is attributed to the iOS 17.2.1 update, it would imply that every device that underwent the iOS upgrade should experience this problem. In other words, if the root cause is indeed tied to the software update, one would expect a universal manifestation of the Facial Recognition / Front Camera issue across all devices that were updated to iOS 17.2.1.

I do not know what to believe...
